History: She was born with several neurological imbalances, which makes sleep difficult for her. It may also be what makes her so good at details. Beatrice liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week. She never liked modest clothing or shoes, so she would wander the woods barefoot and lightly dressed, and she developed a good sense of balance and learned how to climb and swim well. She bought a ceremonial dagger and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.
